Taking one for christmas

I've made this before. Didn't turn out. You try. 



Materials List

Small amount of green wool
Suitable sized crochet hook

Finished Size

My little trees are only about 2 inches tall - but this will vary depending on what wool and sized crochet hook that you use.

Gauge

Keep it nice and tight! These trees look best when they are slightly stiff.

Notes

I designed this very simple Christmas tree after spending a long time trying to find a suitable free pattern online and having no joy. They are very quick and easy to make - and can make lovely tree decorations if you back them with felt and add a few sparkley sequins.

First one!!!!!!!

I found a dish cloth that is super easy. I found it on Ravelry!!!

Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth
Designer: Unknown
Rating: Easy

Materials: Sugar and Cream yarn; Size 6 or 7 needles (US)
Instructions: 
Cast on 4 stitches
Row 1: Knit 4
Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across the row.
Repeat Row 2 until you have 44 stitches on the needle.
Row 3: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to the end of the row.
Repeat Row 3 until you have 4 stitches on the needle.
You can now either bind off or do a round of single crochet and make a little loop of chain stitches in one corner so you can hang the cloth to dry when you are finished using it.
